Chapter 414 Subtle changes in order
Leaving the contact information of the other party, Lancelot was still a little confused.
He originally just wanted to participate in a boxing match, but he actually told him that he had the opportunity to be blessed by the God of Knowledge?
Did a pie fall from the sky and hit him on the head?
After recovering a little bit under the influence of [Secondary Treatment], Lancelot regained his ability to move.
For most of the next afternoon, he stayed at the preliminaries venue, watching the dozen or so challengers enter the venue and try to challenge the second-level warrior guarding the ring.
There are still very few people who can last for 5 minutes.
Most of the people who challenged after Lancelot were knocked to the ground within one minute.
The only one who lasted for 5 minutes, his movements were extremely awkward at the end. He was completely unable to defend against the defender's continuous offensive. He could only raise his fists in front of his head to protect himself, passively Get beaten.
If it were a regular boxing match, in such a one-sided situation, the losing side would soon be knocked unconscious or beaten to death.
But Lancelot now also sees some clues.
After personally experiencing the opponent's attack, Lancelot discovered the secret of this preliminary match.
The defender's attack mode is not a normal way of winning at all.
Otherwise, when the opponent cannot block, just punch according to the weak point.
This attack is more like a test.
Test the challenger’s combat prowess.
Or, like Lancelot, gradually adapt to the opponent's attack rhythm, find patterns in it, and use extraordinary combat intuition to complete the parry.
Or use another way to pass the level.
That’s a beating.
The ability to withstand beatings is strong enough. Even after being beaten for 5 minutes without falling down, I can still pass the test.
Lancelot had a premonition.
This match is not so much a preliminary boxing championship.
Rather, it’s more like screening out those talents who are strong, resistant and tough!
......
The sun is turning westward, the sun is beginning to emit a warm yellow afterglow, and the Liming City area of Qim Town is beginning to become more and more lively.
It is worth mentioning.
Originally, a town of the size of Qim Town had no real "officials".
It is said that the original Qim Town was a relatively flat wilderness with an unnamed small river next to it, which was regarded as a tributary of the Nilan River that ran across the Kingdom of Reyak from east to west.
Starting from the agreed-upon gathering of trading markets, the popularity gradually grew, and a small town was formed.
As for the reason why it is called Qim Town.
Mainly derived from a strange plant called the Chim tree that grows near the town of Chim.
Cut the bark and it will ooze a thick milky white sap.
After this sap is separated from the Chimu tree, it will become extremely hard after drying for a period of time, but when exposed to high temperatures, it will soften and return to liquid.
Some magical rituals use heated chim tree sap, so planting chim trees is also considered a local industry.
In the past, the kingdom’s affairs officers would only come to Qim Town for two things.
Recruit troops and collect taxes.
The time for both is very fixed.
Recruiting troops occurs once a year.
Taxes are collected twice a year, one of which coincides with the recruitment of soldiers.
At one time, the poll tax, business tax, and agricultural tax were collected normally.
There is also a tax called war tax, which is levied when recruiting troops and is used to pay for the king's army to resist the attack of the monster red tide.
The temporary soldiers recruited were also incorporated into the king's army.
They usually do not go directly to the battlefield, and are basically engaged in logistical work.
Because there are no officials, not only in Qim Town, but also in most towns, there is no clear order or regulations, and the kingdom's laws lack the manpower to enforce them.
When encountering a dispute, most people approach it by asking the local nobles to make a ruling. Or simply ask the noble Lord to formulate some rules that everyone will abide by by default.
The former Baron Chinar did something similar.
The rules he set for Qim Town are also very simple.
Basically, it is based on the laws of the kingdom. Crimes such as murder, robbery, theft, fighting, and fraud all follow the provisions of the law.
A fine is what deserves a fine, a caning is what deserves a flogging, a detention is what deserves a detention, and a hanging is what deserves a hanging.
Those more serious punishments, such as imprisonment and hanging, did not have the conditions to be implemented in Qim Town, so the people were sent to Ceylon City, the matter was narrated in front of the affairs officer, and then the punishment was carried out in Ceylon City.
Although the local nobles have considerable power, he can control the trinity of legislation, judiciary and law enforcement with one hand.
But in most cases, a nobleman will not go too far for the sake of his own reputation.
There was once a noble who set a lot of strict and excessive rules for his own selfish desires. For example, he could enjoy the first night of all the girls in the town first.
Then his reputation was completely ruined.
All the residents in the town also ran away.
A small town fell into decline.
Ordinary people in this world have no reason to be attached to the nobles in their normal lives. They have been squeezed too much. Although they cannot resist, they can go somewhere else and start their lives again.
On the contrary, the nobles cannot escape, especially the manor nobles.
Because when they swore allegiance to the king, the location of the manor was designated.
They only have the right to use this manor, not to own it.
A delicate balance was formed between the nobility and the common people.
But this delicate balance has changed in Qim Town.
Because the church of seeking knowledge is spreading.
They are spreading the changes brought about by Norwin.
……
After a day of hard work, it’s basically time for people to get off work.
The regulations on working hours come from the Qiushi Church.
To be precise, it should be those tasks and tasks in the Qim Town expansion series released by the Church of Seeking Knowledge.
City wall construction, residential construction, farmland reclamation, livestock raising, and various new industries and workshops.
These tasks can only be rewarded after meeting the requirements.
This requirement has become people’s default working hours.
There are more and more pedestrians on the road.
Although the clothes are different, one thing is the same.
Everyone’s faces were filled with expressions of anticipation.
Almost everyone was discussing the celebration enthusiastically.
"Have you heard? Free food will be provided at tonight's celebration. As long as you can eat it, you can eat as much as you want!"
"Your news is out of date!"< br>
“Not only is there free food, but also free beer! I saw someone breaking the news at the Temple of Truth!”
“Tonight only, unlimited beer!”
"Hey!" Some people who were not very well-informed were shocked by the news: "Drink casually? Where did the people from the Seeking Church get so much wine? Did they buy all the wine in Ceylon? Are they so How much?”
“Who knows, maybe it’s a miracle from the gods!”
“I must have a good time anyway”
“Anyway! , praise Noven!”
